VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., April 24, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Christian

"Our vision is to bring the Bible to the children of the world," said CBN's
CEO Gordon Robertson. "Mobile devices are a tremendous way to reach people
anywhere, anyplace, anytime. The Superbook Kids Bible app is a wonderful
version of the Bible and a fun way for children to learn about God."
The app is a media-rich experience that helps bring the Bible to life with
videos and images from the Superbook animation series as well as engaging
interactive games. All content is embedded within scripture, so children can
easily interact with it from within the context of the Bible. This app also
includes profiles of people, places and artifacts from the Bible as well as
providing Biblical answers to questions that are common to kids.
According to "Kids and Apps: A New Era of Play" study released by The NPD
Group in May 2012, kids aged 2-14 use an app-capable device an average of 5
days out of each week. The Superbook Kids Bible app offers children a
wonderful alternative to other apps in the marketplace, giving them the
opportunity to journey through the Bible to experience the greatest stories
ever told.

One of CBN's goals for Superbook is to create a high-quality series that can
compete with the sophisticated animation to which children are now accustomed.
A testament to this quality is that Superbook.TV (http://www.Superbook.TV) was
recently nominated for a Webby Award in the Religion & Spirituality category.
Facing competition from the Huffington Post and CNN, the site captures this
vision by communicating Bible stories in a whole new way through compelling
interactivity.
